Many of those that live in Melbourne would have heard the sad story of a 26 year old girl stabbing her mother and the police then shooting her to death over this weekend. Not tasered, not using pepper spray but shooting her to kill her. The media have been making out the daughter to be a nasty person that has murdered her mother and the mother to have been a saint.
Well, I can tell you that the daughter, her name was Carly, was a good friend of my Son Lachlan. Carly has been over to our place many times and was a kind gentle girl.
Now, the real story is Carly was severely abused throughout her 26 years. Carly suffered mental illnesses as a result and also had ADHD, depression and much more. Because of all this Carly attracted many undesirables in her life and the wrong crowds. Carly was slipping into the deepest, darkest hole over the last couple of weeks that no one could ever have to be in, but had no one to help her. Can you imagine that if you were so far down a hole but wanted to live and needed help to climb out and the only person was the person that is suppose to protect and help you, was the underlying cause of the life you had and failed you. YOU WOULD SNAP and fall down that hole where there was no bottom
Last week Corrine and I talked and we asked Carly over for dinner, suppose to have been last night. We were going to tell Carly that we were here to help and support her. We were going to ask Carly to move in to our home, look after here, get her the medical help she needed, a job and show her all the loving that a parent is suppose to give no matter what. Caitlin who is currently doing her Masters Degree in Social Work was going to be her right hand and help guide Carly. We had it all worked out as Carly had always admired the family we have and adored my son Lachlan.
That was to be all done last night (saturday) but all this was stopped because Carly was shot dead by police on Friday night.
For FuK sake, all she needed was someone to help her
Carly, you can now rest in peace and I am so so so sorry that we didn't step in sooner, even just 2 days sooner
